CROWN REDUCTION FELIXSTOWE

Crown Lifting

Tree crown reduction is a very popular service that we offer. Crown reduction (also referred to as crown thinning or crown lifting) reduces the overall size of a tree’s canopy. A dense tree canopy can become dangerous over time; branches become stressed, and in turn, in bad weather, it can lead to them breaking and potentially causing damage to their surroundings. Another cause for concern and reason to have your tree crowned is when they have grown too close to power lines or even buildings and boundaries; all of these scenarios can have a knock-on effect, leading to more significant issues. A tree that is appropriately crowned is safer and also looks very attractive.

The term crown reduction which is also sometime referred to as crown lifting, or even crown thinning will decrease the overall density and size of your tree. It is a process that will help improve the trees’ overall health by allowing newly exposed branches to gain more exposure to light and air. Using crown reduction techniques on certain trees, such as maples, can also help reduce their sap production. At Felixstowe Tree Surgeons, we have the experience and ability to care for all your crown thinning needs throughout Felixstowe.

At Felixstowe Tree Surgeons, our highly-trained experts are dedicated to providing our customers with the highest quality of service. When performing a crown reduction, we always strive to retain the natural aesthetic beauty of the tree while removing any dead or diseased branches. We will usually begin by gaining an overall view of the tree crown and then prune back extensively to thin out any dense areas. We also perform intentional shaping to balance out a lopsided crown. Depending on the situation, we may also insert metal frameworks (such as copper rods or braces) into strategic points and pruning techniques to create more volume and achieve the desired shape. As specialist tree surgeons, you can always trust us to ensure your treen crown lifting needs are taken care of quickly and efficiently.

Crown Thinning

After crown reduction, ensuring your trees are kept healthy and safe is a top priority. It’s essential to immediately address any newly exposed areas of the tree, especially where branches have been removed, as these spots are more prone to infection. Firstly, it’s vital that all cuts made to the tree during the crown reduction process are correctly sealed using a pruning sealer or wound dressing. If applicable, mulch should be applied around the base of the tree and any other exposed areas of the root system – this will help protect against weed growth and provide insulation and resource availability to keep your tree in good condition. Finally, bacterial diseases must be monitored during the following few years. If you suspect your tree may be suffering from infection or disease, contact Felixstowe Tree Surgeons as soon as possible so we can come by and offer an expert diagnosis.
